The Senate Democrats seen as the most likely contenders to challenge President Trump in 2020 all voted against the bill to reopen the government, even though most Democrats agreed to end the stalemate over immigration and fund the government again.

Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., all voted against the spending bill Monday. Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., whose names have also been included in some 2020 speculation, voted “no” as well.
